Ipse have a new supreme leader

[courtg9000]

Yes, and that was the utterly amateurish quality of the directors and the management consultant they got in 8 years ago that set off the "existing membership bad"/"imaginary future membership good" strategy that gripped the PCG (bad/pointless/poisoned brand) and led to IPSE, and the destruction of the cash and value that was built on the back of Arctic etc.

Its only an opinion and I'm probably wrong, but its fun to speculate

Nah probably right.
you see an organisation like that needs members - lots and lots to be effective
Membership as it was/still possibly is should not exactly be that difficult a sell. Ass it is a graph of member numbers resembled where I liked to go on my christmas holidays when I was in better health. (Ski slopes).
Too many people who didn't/don't know how to sell.
Badly drawn nipples don't sell things!
Strategy?? Got to love it! Smash and Grab the members keep them happy and sell more. Not difficult my goldfish could do it.
Spending money on a fancy strategy for that is a bit like spending money on an image consultant for Boris Johnson!
FY end 2019 shows from memory £2.3 Mil Cash At Bank. Lets see how long it is before they go through all of that.

Oh well, that should save a bit of cash.

Annette's time was up anyway. The iNeds only serve a fixed term

Baynham was also appointed 17th July 2015 with Nabavi. So will that be the end of the NEDs tomorrow?

Did they do anything useful? (or is that an oxymoron?)

We'll never know.

We'll never know.

Ms Clarke is a non-elected director too?
It may have changed over the last 6 years, but wasn't there a rule that there could not be more non-elected than elected directors?
So the departure of Ms Nabavi may have been necessary after the departure of Ms Morgan?

P.S. still catching up on 6 years of history
Mr Searle was TheFaQQer? and was part of the CUK candidates elected to the CC in 2015?

They were appointed at the same time, but Annette's term was a year shorter than Peter's to ensure that their term ends were staggered, so Peter's got a year left.

The board that worked with them felt their contributions to be very useful and had a lot of respect for them.

Mandy is an elected director. The CC re-elected her shortly before they were disbanded. She was IIRC the first placed candidate. There are still more elected directors (3) than appointed (1). The interim CEO is not a director as he's temporary (despite what the linked page says)

That's the one.

The elected directors could always out vote the appointed directors (incl. non-exec directors) as the relative weighting at any vote was 70/30; even with only one elected director present at the vote*.
